Snyder was born in New York City on February 22, 1919.[1] He studied piano at the Juilliard School before taking a job as a songwriter at the Brill Building.[1]The music for “Strangers in the Night” was originally written by Croatian composer Ivo Robic but when it failed to gain recognition in the song festival for which it had been composed, Robic sold the rights to German bandleader and composer Bert Kaempfert, who used it in the spoof spy film A Man Could Get Killed. Snyder subsequently collaborated with British lyricist Charles Singleton, although Snyder always insisted that he also contributed to the final music form, and the song is now credited to all four.[1]
The first vocal version was cut by Jack Jones in April 1966, but the best-known is that recorded by Frank Sinatra three days later. At the session an angry Sintra turned on guitarist Glen Campbell, who had been brought in at the last moment. Campbell did not know the song and busked his way through the first take while listening to the tune. Sinatra was used to recording in a single take, and when told he would have to sing it again, he glared at Campbell and shouted: “Is that guy with us or is he sleeping?”. On take two Sinatra himself added the famous “doo-bie-doo-bie-doo” improvisation at the end. In the original 1966 recording, this fades prematurely, but in a recently remastered version, it continues for an additional nine seconds. Despite its popularity, Sinatra is known to have detested the song and often expressed his distaste for it when performing it in concert.[1]
“Strangers In The Night” has been performed an estimate of four million times since Sinatra recorded the originally, won Snyder a Golden Globe for Best Original Song in a Film in 1966.[1] Snyder also composed “Spanish Eyes” for Al Martino in 1965, which later became a hit in the United Kingdom in 1973.[1]
Eddie Snyder died on March 10, 2011, at the age of 92. He was survived by his wife, Jessie.[1]

Early life

Cavallari was born January 5, 1987 in Denver, Colorado, the second of three children of Judith Spies (née Eifrig) and Dennis Cavallari.[2][3] When her mother divorced her father, her older brother Mike moved with their father to Laguna Beach, California, while she moved with her mother to the village of Barrington, Illinois, a suburb an hour northwest of Chicago. After difficulties adjusting to a new life with a stepfather and stepbrother, Kristin moved to California to live with her father. Instead Kristin was enrolled at Santa Margarita Catholic High School for her freshman year. After she attended a Driver’s Education course through Laguna Beach High School, her father enrolled her in LBHS.

Career

2006-2010: Laguna Beach and The Hills

Cavallari was in her junior year of high school when the first season of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County began production. At the time, she was involved in an on-and-off relationship with seniorStephen Colletti. Cavallari’s romance with Colletti caused a rivalry with another cast member, Lauren Conrad. The love triangle became one of the series’ central plotline. [1]
In May 2009, Cavallari confirmed that she would be joining the cast of the popular MTV reality series The Hills.[4] She appeared in the mid-season finale that aired on May 31, 2009 and appeared as a regular in the remainder of the fifth season. She inked a deal with MTV to appear as a series regular throughout two more seasons of the series following the fifth.[5] The sixth and final season aired summer 2010.

Philanthropy

Cavallari has been involved in the “Until There’s a Cure” public service advertising campaign to raise awareness and funds for AIDS and HIV research and vaccine development.[6] In 2006, Cavallari appeared in ads for PETA,[7] and has also appeared as a celebrity spokesperson for “We Are Ellis Island”, a campaign for the restoration of historic buildings on Ellis Island.[8] In February 2009, she posed for the NOH8 Campaign in support of gay marriage.[9]

Sheridan was born November 21, 1963 Colette Sheridan inRustington, West Sussex, England, the daughter of British actress Sally Sheridan (née Adams).[1] She is of IndianPunjabi descent through her maternal side.[2][3] Contrary to rumour, Sheridan is not related to actress Dinah Sheridan. Sheridan’s biological father has never been identified. However, Sheridan has said that she considers her mother’s late ex-boyfriend, actor Telly Savalas, to be her father (and not stepfather). Sheridan’s half-brother, Nick Savalas, is his son. Sheridan attended school at Millfield in Somerset and emigrated to the United States in 1973.[1]Sheridan made her debut in Paper Dolls, but her breakthrough came in 1986, when she joined the cast of the CBS night-time soap Knots Landing as “Paige Matheson”. She started out in a recurring role, but proved to be so popular that she was a regular during the 1988-89 season. For her performance in the role, she won the 1990 Soap Opera Digest Award for “Outstanding Lead Actress: Prime Time” and the 1991 Soap Opera Digest Award for “Outstanding Heroine: Prime Time”. The same year, she was named one of People Magazine‘s “50 Most Beautiful People”. After the series ended in 1993, she appeared in several made-for-TV movies and the films Spy Hard and Beverly Hills Ninja and auditioned for the role of Grace Adler on Will & Grace (on which she would later guest-star). Despite her carefully cultivated sex symbol image, Sheridan has only done one nude scene during her career, in the low budget 1999 film Raw Nerve, opposite Mario Van Peebles.

In 2004, Sheridan’s role as sexy divorcee Edie Britt in ABC‘s Desperate Housewives brought her renewed media attention. She was nominated for a 2005 Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress and was named #48 on Maxim‘s 2006 List.[4] Less positively, she was named 2004’s “worst dressed” by Mr. Blackwell. Blackwell’s citation probably resulted from the colourful and boldly-cut gown Sheridan wore as a presenter at the American Music Awards on November 14, 2004 but he had earlier (TV Guide, July 22, 1989) praised her fashion sense: “daring … with her panache, she brings it off without a hitch. For the adventurer in all of us, she’s the one to watch”. On November 15, 2004, Sheridan was cited by the FCC for her appearance in a sketch that opened the evening’s Monday Night Football broadcast. The Desperate Housewives-inspired sketch, showing Sheridan dropping a towel to attract the attention of football player Terrell Owens who then said “ah hell”, was widely condemned as being sexually suggestive.[5][6] ABC was forced to apologize for airing it, but the citation against Sheridan was dropped on March 14, 2005. On November 22, 2004, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) aired a controversial parody showing WWE DivaTrish Stratus dropping her towel to attract WWE Superstar Shelton Benjamin, but being caught in the act by the company’s chairman, Vince McMahon.[7]Todd Schnitt of radio station WFLZ-FM in Tampa, Florida, placed an early-morning telephone call to Sheridan on November 18, 2004, waking her to discuss the Monday Night Football controversy (which had come to be called “Towelgate”). On January 30, 2007, the FCC levied a $10,000 fine because the station violated regulations in failing to inform Sheridan that the interview was being broadcast.

Toward the close of the fourth season of Desperate Housewives, conflicting reports circulated regarding Sheridan’s future in her role. While Hollywood.com reported in April that series creator Marc Cherry had said Sheridan would depart at the end of the season,[8] another source stated that Sheridan was confident she would return for the series’ fifth season.[9] By May 4, Entertainment Weekly reported that Sheridan would likely make several appearances in the upcoming season, but not necessarily as a regular cast member.[10]

Personal life

When season five aired, Sheridan did indeed reprise her regular role as Edie, now married to to McDonough’s character, who is the centerpiece of the new season.
In February 2009 Sheridan announced she will be leaving Desperate Housewives at the end of the season. Her final episode will be in April 2009.[14]
From 1979 to 1985, Sheridan dated the then teen-idolLeif Garrett. They began dating when she was still about 15 and lived with him in his mother’s home while still an underage (minor). As an adult, Sheridan was involved in an unsuccessful attempt to end Garrett’s drug abuse.Sheridan was married to actor Harry Hamlin from September 7, 1991 through 1993. Because the marriage lasted exactly two years (the amount of time required for an American citizen’s spouse to receive permanent residency), it was rumored to be a “green card marriage”. However, this is unlikely the case as both Savalas, her half brother, and TV network CBS could have sponsored her for any needed visas without her needing to resort to a false marriage.

From January to October 2005, Sheridan was engaged to Swedish personal trainer, Nicklas Söderblom. After their break-up, Sheridan returned to ex-boyfriend Michael Bolton, to whom she became engaged in March 2006. Sheridan was reportedly pregnant with his child but both of them have denied these rumours.[15]
In 2006 Nicollette Sheridan and Michael Bolton sang a duet titled The Second Time Around for the album Bolton Swings Sinatra.[16]In March 2008 Nicollette Sheridan posed naked for a London Fog charity ad which also featured Nicollette’s fiancé, Michael Bolton.[17]
On March 25, 2008 Nicollette Sheridan settled a lawsuit brought by a former manager who alleged that he was fired by the actress to avoid paying a commission.[18]
It was confirmed on August 26, 2008 that Michael and Nicollette had broken their engagement.[19]

Early life

Career

It was during her studies that Logan began working as a news reporter for the Sunday Tribune in Durban from 1988–89, and found work with the Daily News, another Durban publication, between 1990 and 1992.[1] In 1992 she began working for Reuters Television in Africa, primarily as a senior producer.[1] After four years she branched out into freelance journalism, finding work and assignments as a reporter and editor/producer with ITN and Fox/SKY, CBS News, ABC News (London), NBC, and the European Broadcast Union. She also found work with CNN, reporting on incidents such as the 1998 United States embassy bombings in Nairobi and Tanzania, the conflict in Northern Ireland, and the Kosovo war.[1]Logan was hired by GMTV breakfast television in the UK as a correspondent in 2000, and also worked with CBS News Radio as a freelance correspondent. Days after the attacks on 9/11, Logan begged a clerk at the Russian Embassy in London to give her an expedited visa to travel to Afghanistan.[3] In November 2001, while in Afghanistan working for GMTV, Logan infiltrated the American-and British-backed Northern Alliance and interviewed their commander, General Babajan, at the Bagram Air Base.[3]
Her skill as a reporter persuaded CBS News to offer her an official role within their organisation in 2002. Logan spent much of the next four years reporting from the field, including war zones in Afghanistan and Iraq, often as an embedded journalist with the American Armed Forces. Many of her reports were for 60 Minutes II, and she was also a regular contributor to shows such as CBS Evening News, The Early Show and Face The Nation. She was promoted to the position of the Chief Foreign Correspondent for CBS News in February 2006.[1]

Haifa Street fighting

In late January 2007, Logan filed a report about fighting along Haifa Street in Baghdad.[4] When CBS News refused to run the report on the nightly news because the footage was “a bit strong,”[5] Logan tried to win public support to reverse this decision. Logan said, “I would be very grateful if any of you have a chance to watch this story and pass the link on to as many people you know as possible. It should be seen. And people should know about this.”[5][6] Logan went on to use some of the Haifa Street material during a 60 Minutes report about life in Baghdad under the surge.

Michael Hastings controversy

In June 2010, a Rolling Stone magazine article by Michael Hastings quoted four-star ArmyGeneralStanley A. McChrystal and his staff contemptuously criticizing civilian government officials. As a consequence of the article, President Obama fired McCrystal as his top commander in Afghanistan on 23 June 2010.[7][8][9]Logan said Hastings’s reporting was “sensational”, and, by relaying “insults and banter”, he had violated an “unspoken agreement” and “element of trust” between reporters and military personnel.[10]ABC News reported that an unnamed source, identified as a “military official”, had noted the lack of written ground rules between Hastings’ staff and Hastings. The official nonetheless was confident that Hastings had published comments from what McChrystal staffers had assumed discussions that were off-the-record. Rolling Stone editor Eric Bates countered that prior to publishing the Hastings article, the magazine had abided by all of the “express requests for off-the-record and background or not-for-attribution” made by the military.[11]Matt Taibbi wrote a Rolling Stone blog entry titled “Lara Logan You Suck”, in which he said “If there’s a lower form of life on the planet earth than a “reputable” journalist protecting his territory, I haven’t seen it”, and found Logan ignorant of journalistic responsibilities.[12]Glenn Greenwald of Salon.com said Logan had shown herself to be “like the most devoted member of McChyrstal’s P.R. staff or even his family.”[13] CNN’s former chief military correspondent, Jamie McIntyre said Logan’s mention of Hastings’ lack of military service was “clueless and unhelpful”, adding that Logan’s “ill-conceived attack” had “unfortunately reinforced the worst stereotype of reporters who ‘embed’ with senior military officers but are actually ‘in bed’ with them”. McIntyre said Logan’s statements on Hastings provided the “smoking gun” to those “looking for evidence combat reporters are too dazzled by the shiny stars on the commander’s epaulets.”[14]

Protests in Egypt

On 3 February 2011, Time magazine reported that while covering the Egyptian Revolution, Logan and her crew were arrested by the Egyptian army in Cairo. Logan said the government wanted to prevent further film coverage.[15][16] She said that prior to the arrest: “We were heavily heavily intimidated and bullied” and “accused of being agents and spies for Israel.”[17] Logan later said of the arrest: “We were not attacked by crazy people in Tahrir Square. We were detained by the Egyptian army. Arrested, detained, and interrogated. Blindfolded, handcuffed, taken at gunpoint, our driver beaten. It’s the regime that arrested us. They arrested [our producer] just outside of his hotel, and they took him off the road at gunpoint, threw him against the wall, handcuffed him, blindfolded him. Took him into custody like that.”[15][18]
On 15 February 2011, CBS News released a statement revealing that some four days earlier, Logan had been beaten and sexually assaulted while covering the celebrations in Tahrir Square following the resignation of then President Hosni Mubarak.[19] CBS News indicated that she was overwhelmed along with her camera crew and security staff before being saved by a group of women and Egyptian soldiers. Logan returned to her hotel after the assault and was flown out of the country within hours on a chartered network jet.[20][21][22]

Early life and education

David Salzer Broder was born in Chicago Heights, Illinois,[4] the son of Albert “Doc” Broder, a dentist,[1] and Nina Salzer Broder.[5]
He earned a bachelors degree in liberal arts from the University of Chicago in 1947 and continued his studies there, receiving a master’s degree in political science in 1951. While at Chicago, he met fellow student Ann Creighton Collar, and they were married in Crawfordsville, Indiana in 1951. They had four sons and seven grandchildren.[1]

Journalism career

Early years

He began working as a journalist while pursuing his masters degree, serving as editor of The Chicago Maroon[6] and later at the Hyde Park Herald.[7] He was drafted into the US Army in 1951, where he wrote for the newspaper U.S. Forces Austria (USFA) Sentinel, until he was discharged from the Army in 1953.
In 1953, Broder reported for the Pantagraph newspaper in Bloomington, IL, covering Livingston and Woodford counties in the central part of the state. From there he moved to the Congressional Quarterly in Washington DC, in 1955, where he apprenticed under senior reporter Helen Monberg and got his first taste of covering Congressional politics. During his four-and-a-half years at CQ, Broder also worked at The New York Times as a freelance writer.
In 1960, Broder joined the Washington Star as a junior political writer covering the presidential election that year between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. During his five years at the Star, he was promoted to national political news reporter and was a weekly contributor to the paper’s op-ed page.
Broder left the Star for The New York Times in 1965, hired by well-known Times political reporter and columnist Tom Wicker to serve in its Washington bureau.

Washington Post columnist

After 18 months at The Times, Broder moved to The Washington Post, where he would remain for over forty years, beginning as a reporter and weekly op-ed contributor. Later, he was given a second weekly column. Broder’s columns were distributed initially through The Washington Post Wire Service and then later syndicated through The Washington Post Writers Group. His columns were carried by more than 300 newspapers for many years.
The longtime columnist was informally known as the “Dean” of the Washington press corps and the “unofficial chairman of the board” by national political writers.[8][9][10]
In May 2008, Broder accepted a buyout offer from The Washington Post Co., effective January 1, 2009,[11] but continued to write his twice-weekly Post column as a contract employee. In a letter to the publications that run his column, Broder said: “This change will allow me to focus entirely on the column, while freeing up the Post to use its budget for other news-section salaries and expenses.”[11]
In June 2008, Ken Silverstein, a columnist at Harper’s magazine alleged that Broder had accepted free accommodations and thousands of dollars in speaking fees from various business and healthcare groups, in one instance penning an opinion column supporting positions favored by one of the groups.[12]Deborah Howell, The Washington Post‘s ombudsman at the time, wrote that Broder’s acceptance of speaking fees appeared to be a violation of the paper’s policy on outside speeches, as was the fact that some of the groups that paid Broder also lobby Congress.[13] Howell pointed out that Broder said “he had cleared his speeches with Milton Coleman, deputy managing editor, or Tom Wilkinson, an assistant managing editor, but neither remembered him mentioning them.”

Pulitzer Prize

Broder won the Pulitzer Prize for commentary in 1973 and was the recipient of numerous awards and academic honors before and after.

Meet the Press and other broadcast media

For many years Broder appeared on Washington Week, Meet the Press, and other network television news programs. It was announced at the close of the August 10, 2008 broadcast of Meet the Press that Broder was celebrating his 400th appearance on that program, on which he first appeared July 7, 1963. He appeared far more often than any other person, other than the program’s panelists. The next closest person to Broder was Bob Novak, who had appeared on Meet the Press fewer than 250 times.
Broder was a weekly guest on XM/Sirius Satellite Radio’s The Bob Edwards Show starting in October 2004. On the premiere broadcast, Broder was joined by CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite as the program’s first guests. Broder also contributed to The Bob Edwards Show as a political commentator.

Lecturer and author

In 2001, Broder became a lecturer at the University of Maryland’s Philip Merrill College of Journalism while continuing to write full-time at The Washington Post. He generally lectured one class a year on politics and the press, the class meeting at the newspaper. Merrill College Dean Thomas Kunkel described Broder as the nation’s “most respected political journalist” when he announced Broder’s hire. Broder has also lectured at Duke University (1987–1988).[15]
He is author or co-author of eight books:

Broder’s work was also cited in two autobiographies by key figures in the history of The Washington Post: Personal History[21] by Post publisher Katherine Graham in 1997 and A Good Life: Newspapering and Other Adventures[22] by Post executive editor Ben Bradlee in 1995. More recently, Broder was included in former Post columnist Dave Kindred’s 2010 book on the paper’s struggles in the changing media landscape: Morning Miracle: A Great Newspaper Fights for Its Life.[23] Broder is also mentioned in Bill Clinton’s biography First In His Class[24] by David Maraniss.
